( The time designated by law, when the vo ters of Georgia will be called upon to choose a Chief Executiv.Cj is near at hand. There are two candidates for this-office before the people, JosepiijE. Brown,, the present in cumbent, and fhelloit.' Eugenics A. Nisbet, We do not desire to draw any comparisons between these gentlemen that would reflect on either. Both arc hopest, faithful and capably and cither would make Georgia a good Gov ernor. Gov. Brown is the caiididatc' of Judge Whitaker of Atlanta, therefore, hjs friends say he is the peoples’ candidate. They say he is untrammelcd by Caucuses, Conventions, or parties. J udge Nisbet is the nominee of a peoples* Convention, composed of one hun- ; dred and seventy-five delegates, who repre sented fifty-eight counties. It would be a safe calculation to say, that these fifty-eight coun ties represent a voting population of forty thousand, nearly half the voting population of the State. Now, I would ask the question, Who has the best claims to being called the peoples' candidate, Gov. Brown or Judge Nis bet ? How many counties did Judge Whita ker represent? How many voters did he represent ? We submit, whether it is not more evident, from these facts, thaj; Judge Nisbet is the nominee of the people than that Gov. Brown is? The Convention which nominated Judge Nisbet was not a Party Convention. It was called without reference to party, and was in? tended to settle conflicting claims and inter ests, and to harmonize the people on one can didate, so that we might present to our ene mies the happy spectacle of an united people, ft is ridiculous, then, to rail out against Con ventions, as some of the friends of Governor Brown are now doing. Conventions undoubt edly have their evils, as no human institution is perfect. Joseph E. Brown has been twice nominated by Conventions; a Convention was necessary to prepare and adopt the Con stitution of the United States ; and a Conven tion was necessary to take Georgia out of the Union. So long as Conventions were the in strumeut by which Govl Brown stepped into place mid power, be had no complaint to make against them; but now, that his claims are ignored, and the people ask him to step aside that there are others equally as deserving, as well qualified as himself, he and his friends discovered that Conventions are terrible concerns. They are now the work of aspir ing politicians and designing demagogues, ruled and controled entirely by “King Cau cits.’’ “Circumstances alter cases.” The question of precedent is a very strong one against Gov. Brown. The people of Geor gia should watcli with a jealous eye, this time honored custom, which is as old as the Con stitution, as imposing as law, and which has < never, in a single instance, been violated in the old government of the United States, or in the history of Georgia. Goy. Brown, stands before the people of Georgia, asking to be re-elected for a thlril term, Such a thing was never heard of before. The genius and spirit of our Government and of all republi can Governments contemplate a change of the I Executive officers. If a people did not change | their Executive officers, in accordance with some ru(c or precedent, the Cfovegnment would uot be republican in form. All Exe cutive offices have fnitrontvjf annexed to them. This patronage should uot be kept in the hands of one man 100 long. Ixjok at the old United States government, voters of Georgia! There an example was set by the great and I good Washingtox, which no man, under or- » dinary circumstances, should trample under foot. He could have held the office of Presi- I dent fur life, but his sterling integrity, and unsullied patriotism, would not allow him.— He had great wisdom, ripe experience, a pro found knowledge of human nature, and was well instructed in the principles of republican | government. He had carried the country safely through a seven years re vol u lion. He was President of the Convention that framed the Constitution of the United States, and de- } cided all the questions raised in that body— He was fully acquainted with the letter and • spirit of that instrument. He was chosen, by the unanimous voice of the American people, the first President, and held the office for two terms. At the end of that time, when press- cd by his countrymen to serve another term of four years, he answered, and hear the an swer of Washington, voters of Georgia I “No, MY COLNTRYMEN, THE PRECEDENT IS A DANGEROjCS ONE J IT TENDS TO CENTRALIZATION, AN© IS WITH TRE PRINCIPLES OF m A REPUBLICAN; GQVERNJIFNT AND. THE INTERESTS of a Tree*People.” . - •« Let lis remember, with b sacred reihem seinto'ttirw&j ■:*.-r rjlsr •£, . • « , • „ brane?, the advice of the rather of tus coun trg, given to his fellow-citizens, at a time when the gravo was about to close upon him. , • The example set by him has grown into a sanctified principle, which was never infring ed under the old government, and which, we trust, will never be infringed in the new.— Those pure and incorruptible Revolutionary patriots, ‘ Jefferson and Madison, never thought of such a thing as aspiring to the 1 Presidency for a third term. They were ton ? firmly impressed with their obligation to the people, and too well instructed in q princi ples of our government to attempt such a thing. If any mortal man, since the days of Wash ington, deserved this distinction at the hands of his countrymen, that man was Andrew Jackson—-the soldier, the statesman and the patriot. Jackson was a stropg partizan, and he lived in times of great political excite -1 ment. Near the close of his last term in the Presidential chair, he was approached by some of his warm political friends and urged to be i come a candidate for a third term.’ The Old i Hero indignantly refused, saying that his en emies had always charged ‘him with being a 1 tyrant, and were he to run for the Presidency a third term, that would be ample proof that he was a tyrant I Such was the opinion of Old Hickory bn third terms in office. Let us now’ refer, for a moment, to the his tory of our own State. Who had more warm and devoted friends, as Governor of Georgia, than George M. Troup? A ripe statesman, a pure and incorruptible patriot, a man of un questioned integrity, who had higher or stronger claims to this extraordinary honor, than he did ? No man ever stood higher ? in the affections of the people of Georgia, than did George M. Troup, and yet at the expiration of his second term he retired to private life, more honored and loved by the people, than if he had let his “ vaulting am bition ‘overleap” the sacred lirib which had been established and observed by. the Fathers of the Republic. Such has been- the. prece dent established throughout the entire history of Georgia, away down the long line of Gov ernors, from the first Governor representing her State sovereignty, to the present time.. This sacred precedent has never, in a single instance, been violated. Gov. Brown, in his letter to Judge Whitaker, mentions the fact of the Hon. Jared Irwin having served; the State, as Governor, for three terms. This is » mistake. 4 The Hon. Jared Irwin never served the State of Georgia for three consec utive terms, Such a case was never known in the history of Georgia, and the Governor j virtually acknowledges it, in his second letter, I by not alluding to the fact. The only case in the history of the Southern States, in which a Governor has been elected for three -consecu tive terms, has ! jhst taken place in Tennessee. Governor Harris has been elected Governor of that State fur a third term, under th? fol lowing circumstances: At the time of the electron, there was a Secession and a Union party tn the State. Gov. Harris was an orig inal secessionist, and did any twen ty men in the State to take the State out of the Union. He declined, at first, being again a candidate for Governor, but he was nomina ted by conventions, which were held in Mid dle and West Tennessee, and finally acqui esced in allowing his name tn go before the people. Let it be remembered that Gov. Harris was the nominee of two of those con ventions of which Gov. Brown stands in such awful dread. The Union men of East Ten nessee, not satisfied with Gvv. Harris, brought I out Maj. Polk as the “ Unwm ” or “ PeatJt The result was that Gdv. Har- • ris was triumphantly elected by the people of the State. The choice showed the good sense and wisdom of the people of Tennessee, I for had Major Polk beea elected Governor I eivilArar would now be raging in that State, 1 ■ ■' . NEW SERIES: VOL; I••• NO. 194. r*. ■ x . -vl't* Oft*.-;.: ■ and pur whole Northern border would be lit up with the fury of the internecine contest. Maj. Polk received something over 50,000 votes, showing that the Union party mustered , - pretty strong at that time. In the case of Tennessee, we think Gov. Harris was right in running for a third term, and we think the .. people were right in electing him. But no suchicircumstAnces exist in Georgia at this time. There is no “tfnfon” party in Geor ’■ g'a, and there can be no parallel in the case of Tennessee and Georgia. One of the strongest arguments which the friends, of Gov. Brown use for his re-election is, that he has been in office so long, that he ! has become familiar with its duties, that he Understands the Executive routine, and that a ‘ I new man would have to learn all this. Well, I grant all that Gov. Brown says, to be true, grant that he has made a good officer, that he is honest, energetic and capable; all these are not sufficient reasons for keeping him in office. This argument is not worth much. Judge Nisbet is as familiar with the history, condi tion and necessities of Georgia, as Governor Brown or any other man in the State. Judge • Nisbet was a member of the Convention r which took Georgia out of the Union. He introduced the Secession Ordnance in that body. From first to last?, he was one of the leading minds in that Convention. That Con vention elected Judge Nisbet a member of the 1 Provisional Congress of the Confederate States. He has served in this bpdy from its i first session to its last, with distinguished ability. Much of the time of the Confeder ate Congress has been devoted to secret ses sions. With the whole workings of the se cret legislation of our new Government, Judge Nisbet is perfectly familiar. Gpvern ! or Brown knows nothing about this. In this one thing alone Judge Nisbet possesses a pow erful advantage over Gov. Brown. Judge i Nisbet is more perfectly familiar with the se cret workings of the Government than any ; other man in the State. In fact, he is the the right man fbr° Govern or of Georgia at this time. The history of the world has never before brought forth such scenes as those through which we are now passing. We are in the midst of a revolution, and we need a man at the helm of State who has ability, wisdom, decision of character and experience, We need a man who is not only well acquain ted with the policy of the State, but who is also well acquainted with the policy and workings of the Confederate Gayernment. Judge Nisbet is emphatically that man. No man in the State is better qualified for the Governor of Georgia than Judge Nisbet.— Aside from his public qualifications, he has all those traits of character and mind which bespeak the man for this time. Voters of Georgia, the case is now fairly before you. You must decide who will be your next Gov ernor. Will you support a man who is run ning on the Unsafe and unprecedented princi ple which Washington condemned, and which Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and I Jackson refused to sanction ? Will you go for or against the sacred precedent set you by the lamented Troup, and the long line of Governors who have succeeded and preceded him? We call upon you, voters of Georgia, j to stand by the old landmarks; stand by the j principles taught you by the Fathers of the Revolution, by the principles of true Repub licanism, and by the doctrine taught us by the founders of our New Government.— Should you sanction" this dangerous innova tion of a third term man, it will rise up and f meet us forever after. “ Nothing but that highest and rarest of official integrity which forbids a man to prostitute the public offices to his own advantage will then stand in the way of endless succession of aspiring deina i gogues for third, fourth, fifth and sixth terms, * and your Governors will not have warmed their chairs before the plots for official perpe tuity shall have commenced.” Put down i this monster innovation, at the ballot box, Freemen of Georgia, and you will reflect credit on yourselves, honor upon the State, and it wi.l entitle the proud old Common wealth once more to claim her glorious motto of “ Wisdom, Jubtice and Moderation.” SONS OF ’76.
